简要总结
This 12-week trial will test the efficacy of a multi-component, personalized text-message delivered behavior change technique (BCT) intervention to encourage habitual physical activity (defined as regular walking of 1,000 or more steps during a one-hour period on 7 consecutive days according to a personalized walking plan) among care providers of persons with AD/ADRD via the key mechanism of behavior change (MoBC) of automaticity.
The main question it aims to answer whether a multi-component, personalized BCT intervention to increase a walking habit of 1,000 steps/day will lead to successful development of habitual walking among 60 percent of caregivers enrolled.

研究组 & 干预措施
Intervention
This will be a 12-week, single-arm, multi-component, personalized BCT intervention. We will provide participants with 4 BCTs daily (Goal Setting, Action Planning, Self-Monitoring, and Prompt/Cue) that have been associated with habit formation theory and development of physical activity habits in prior research.
干预措施: Behavior Change Technique Package (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Binary indicator of habit formation
时间窗: Baseline to intervention period (12 weeks)
Binary indicator of habit formation, defined as a daily walking habit of 1,000 steps during a pre-determined period identified during baseline. Assessing the efficacy of the personalized BCT intervention by testing the null hypothesis of habit formation rate equal to 40% using a 1-sample binomial test at the 5% level 2-sided. Rate of habit formation will be summarized using the observed proportion, along with a 95% confidence interval.
次要结局
- Habit formation association with changes in automaticity(Baseline (first 2 weeks of study) and last 2 weeks of intervention)
- Longitudinal association between automaticity and habitual walking over time(Baseline to intervention period (12 weeks))
- Heterogeneity of treatment effects for habit formation and on changes in automaticity(Baseline to intervention period (12 weeks))
